Kinoite is great. The atomic version of Fedora KDE.

Well let’s not forget big brother. Just know we live in a panopticon and we all need to band together to make change happen

More opt outs… Everyone, just opt out of big tech

And it’s an official flatpak! I’ve been waiting for anything better than that portable junk before.

I use the basic free Trakt account and it saves my watched episodes and give me recommendations. I agree though, it should have more options

These types of headlines and articles are what keep Americans divided. Palantir is a terrible company regardless of their actions with the Trump administration. People need to stop being so partisan and see how the government is corrupt nearly as a whole.

Maybe check the hash is correct. I’ve downloaded Mint from their various official mirror sites and have gotten one that had an incorrect hash, which caused issues.

I use Mint because I use lots of small project software that tends to only have packages for Debian/Ubuntu. Mint also works very well with an NVIDIA card. I’ve tried other distros but they fail to work well with nvidia.

When I get a new AMD laptop I want to try Vanilla OS as apparently it can use any package format but is also immutable which I like. I just hope they have the KDE Plasma edition out by then because I really don’t enjoy Gnome

Here is Firewalls Don’t Stop Dragons latest podcast. He is interviewing a cyber security expert and at the time stamp I gave he talks about the malware briefly. I’ve also read about this in the past as well but can’t supply evidence.

Block the email sender and don’t use the unsubscribe button as that can have malware

Batocera is nice too. It’s half an emulation console and half Kodi. You can tell it to launch Kodi as default too. Whereas LibreElec is only Kodi with a limited gaming ability

Totally agree

Care to elaborate?

One might try KDE Connect, Local Send, and Signal which has a desktop client

Gross

That sounds plausible but I’m trying to focus on the positive here

Let’s try and look at silver linings

What would be great is if price hikes cause people to purchase games that are worth it causing developers to release complete and feature rich games without further abysmal monetization strategies.

Use alternative ways of streaming content such as Kodi or Stremio with a debrid service that costs $17/6mo

I like getting audio books from Libro.FM. It’s all DRM free and some money gets donated to a bookstore of your choosing.

What would you be referring to?
